Chapter 393

When the Chimonanthus bloomed in the wind, Chu Zongge finally waited for his niece Princess Gu in his previous life. On that day, there was heavy snow outside, which made the whole Imperial City Silver and plain. Glittering everywhere. It's like being buried by white grains of rice.

Princess Gu is dressed in a red beard. It is full of intricate and winding bird and animal patterns, lining the skin like snow, crystal clear, and the feet are flying golden pointed boots. When I got off the carriage, I swaggered and didn't have the lady posture of Miss Qin family at all. They marched to the center of the palace. He saluted him, "see the emperor for your courtier daughter Gu."

It was carved out of her mother's mold. No wonder the emperor regarded her as the Pearl in the palm of his hand, but how could he be cruel and send her to a thousand miles away. Chu Zongge raised his eyebrows in his spare time, "get up."

Gu Yi raised his eyes. I saw the emperor on the Dragon chair at a glance. She looked very young. She should be much younger than her father. Her eyes smiled into two crescent moons. "The emperor is very young. I thought he was an uncle."

Chu Changqing, dressed in green, changed his face slightly. "Princess, this is the emperor. Don't be rude."

I was your uncle. Chu Zongge shrugged indifferently, "I'm not much bigger than the princess. If I really call uncle, it's a joke, are you?"

Chu Changqing quickly saluted. "The minister is general Kur's adviser, Chu Changqing."

It was him. Sure enough, it is somewhat similar to Xu Hanfei. After all, it is a brother. Chu Zongge nodded slightly and said, "Chu Changqing is a good name. It has a bit of the flavor of people in Qin, not like people in Xirong."

Chu Changqing's lips lit up with a faint smile, "I'm really not from Xirong in blood. My father and mother used to be from the state of Qin. Later, they gave birth to me in Xirong. Since then, I grew up in Xirong and have been a Xirong person."

Chu Zongge curved his lips and said, "no wonder you are related to the state of Qin. Since you are general Kur's counselor, you must be a talented person. I want to see what kind of things are hidden in this general counselor who attacked the Imperial City in just ten days."

Chu Changqing was stunned, and a trace of surprise flashed across his eyes. "I hope the emperor will forgive me. Things such as seeking skills can't be displayed. I don't know how to let the emperor know. I just know a little."

Chu Zongge sneered, "I'm not interested in listening to the silk and bamboo strings in this winter. Since you're in military uniform, you might as well show me some swordsmanship and compete with my men."

Chu Changqing raised his eyes and looked at the unfathomable man on the Dragon chair. For a moment, he didn't know how to respond, "compete with the emperor's men. I don't know what sacred will the emperor send to compete with me?"

Chu Zongge's pupils tightened. "I also know a little about swordsmanship. How about childe Chu Changqing coming to compete with me?"

Chu Changqing's face turned white. "My minister came all the way to negotiate a peace contract with the emperor. He didn't dare to compete with the emperor in martial arts."

As soon as Princess Gu heard that the emperor was embarrassing him, she pouted and said, "if the emperor wants to compete with the sword, the minister and daughter can also compete with the emperor. Why call general Kur's military division into battle?"

"I know Princess Gu has learned martial arts since childhood, so she is very powerful and is not afraid of ordinary men," Chu Zongge said with a funny smile. "I was joking just now. How could I come down to compete with Childe Chu? I let others come."

Chu Changqing stared round and looked at the copper door behind the Dragon chair slowly opening. A man with full armor came out. When he walked up, he only heard a click. His height was the same as him. He narrowed his eyes and flashed a trace of clarity in his heart. It was clearly Xu Hanfei. He could recognize it even if it turned into ash.

Xu Hanfei deliberately changed into another voice and said with a smile, "childe Chu, you are polite."

"Even if you want to compete in martial arts, you should first ask your childe's name," Chu Changqing half narrowed his eyes and looked at him up and down. "Dare you ask your childe's name?"

Xu Hanfei gently moved his steps, "you don't have to know. When we finish the sword competition, you will naturally know."

Chu Changqing turned his eyes and didn't want to talk to him. He said bluntly, "it seems that I know now that my good brother is safe. As a brother, I haven't seen you for many years. I didn't expect you to become a person next to the emperor since you entered the palace of the state of Qin."

Xu Hanfei also guessed in his heart that he would see through his true identity, but he didn't expect that since he broke through like this, he pursed his lips into a line and said, "brother, you haven't changed at all after years, and your speech and behavior are still the same."

Chu Changqing smiled and said, "you are the same. It seems that our brothers have not changed for so many years."

Princess Gu was stunned. The scene of the brothers' meeting was never expected. She thought she would see it later. She didn't expect to see it now.

Chu Zongge looked at the scene of the brother's recognition on the Dragon chair. He was even happier. He clapped several hands and said with a smile: "after I heard that Xu Hanfei is your biological brother, I expected you to be very happy when you saw him. I invited him right away. I don't know whether childe Chu likes this gift."

Chu Changqing nodded with a smile. "Thank you for your consideration. I'm really happy to see my brother in my lifetime. It would be better if my parents' spirits in heaven could see it."

"I haven't told the emperor about that."

Liu Yuan stopped the action in his hand and looked at her in surprise. "You haven't told the emperor yet. It's a big thing. It's about the royal heir, and what you have in your stomach is the direct son of the queen and the first born prince in the harem. You can't hide such a big thing from the emperor."

Xue ronghua laughed a few times after hearing this, "you really are. I don't know whether I have a prince or a princess in my stomach. Why do you talk about the prince? What can I do if it's a princess? Isn't the emperor happy in vain?"

"Even if it's a princess, the emperor must like it very much. Zuo is just his own children. Will he be sad because he is a prince or a princess?" Liu Yuan sighed gently. "Aren't you going to hide it from him, or do you want to choose a suitable day to surprise him?"

Xue ronghua frowned for a moment and sighed, "in fact, I don't want to tell him for the time being. When Feihong invited him, he was also busy. These days, the envoys of Xirong came again. I really don't want to distract him."

"This is his child. He should have been distracted. You are too cautious. If something happens, you won't have a chance to tell him again."

"With you, would I be afraid of anything," Xue ronghua smiled at her soothingly. "Just rest assured. When the envoy of Xirong returns, I will naturally tell him. When the child is almost old, he will be happier for a longer time, and don't be afraid of his distraction."

Liu Yuan frowned impatiently, "I really can't see your royal family. The wife with children is afraid of her husband's distraction and conceals him. As soon as she enters the Imperial Palace, it's like the sea. Fortunately, I didn't marry the emperor."

Xue ronghua couldn't cry or laugh. "The emperor can't marry a wanton woman like you."

"But if you hide it, you won't be worried about Princess Gu," Liu Yuan blinked, "I heard that Princess Liu Yuan has entered the palace to face the saint. This Xirong messenger is fierce and may come to make peace, but you are the only one in the emperor's heart. You can rest assured to raise the fetus in the back palace. No matter what her background is, the emperor won't take her in his eyes."

Xue ronghua smiled faintly, but his eyes showed concern, "in fact, I also understand in my heart, but I'm just nervous. Although the emperor doesn't mean anything to Princess Gu, doesn't Princess Gu feel anything wrong?"

"I'm afraid she doesn't have the emperor in her heart, but she just can't resist her father's request." Liu Yuan was afraid to say too much, so he slipped his tongue and quickly stopped biting his lips. "You can rest assured to raise your baby in the harem. Nothing will disturb you."

Xue ronghua's eyes slowly darkened, and he nodded with a smile. "The harem is still a clean place. I'll keep my baby here at ease. Let the emperor do the outside things."

Liu Yuan smiled, "you husband and wife are also strange. I've never seen them."

Xue ronghua was stunned and said strangely, "are you going to get married in the future? How do I feel that you are not interested in men."

Liu Yuan tilted his lips and showed an expression of indifference. "I don't care. Let's wait until later. Maybe I'll meet a lover."

General Kur was really anxious in his bedroom. When he saw two shadows coming from the snow outside, he slowly breathed a sigh of relief and hurried to meet him. "How about it? Do you need such a long time to face the saint? I waited here for a long time to see you back."

"Also, the emperor made it clear that he was teasing us by our occasional cold," Princess Gu pouted unconvinced. "He embarrassed Chu Changqing and said he wanted someone to compete with him."

General Kur was stunned. "It's a small thing. I taught him his swordsmanship personally. He won't be inferior to ordinary people in the palace."

"At the beginning, the emperor joked that he wanted him to compete with Chu Changqing. We were shocked. We thought it was the emperor cheating," Princess Gu paused. "I didn't expect someone else to come. Do you know who this person is?"

A bad hunch immediately flashed through general Kur's mind, "the emperor won't specially find his brother to compete with him?"

"You're right. The Emperor invited his brother Xu Hanfei to come here. Everyone present was stunned. We just watched a good play of brothers meeting. I don't know what medicine the emperor sells in his gourd."

Chu Changqing, who had been silent for a long time, finally opened his mouth, "it was not the emperor who came here specially. It was Xu Hanfei who went to the palace to apply for a job. The Emperor didn't want to sell any medicine. It was Xu Hanfei who wanted to make a ghost."
